They say class is permanent, I believe so too. Yet it ain’t half helped along by faith in yourself, constant innovation and trust in those few who truly care about you. That’s the best way to live I’ve found so far..... ❤️🏆 https://t.co/2gpJAhPOEk

You’ll find a lot of coaches out there who won’t be truthful with you or your children. They will prefer to go with “the customer is always right”. Why? What do they actually coach for? WHO do they coach for?! ❤️🏆 (💰)

Philosopher Klopp, a man who gets it:”Here, young train like pros! Good for ⚽️ but you don’t get confident people. U get good left/right foot but pressure like hell. Money too vital. They can’t enjoy it all & thats always the enemy of improvement.’🏆❤️ https://t.co/vjnlAOtdYr

Happening in Squash too, particularly in the U.S. Many profiting from the rise of Academies and the potential scholarships. Is it bad? Not too sure... but it is about profit first and foremost and perpetuation of the industry. https://t.co/VChdEBkJ4h

Lots of common sense spoken in this interview - all families are difficult and different but parents must try their help “counter balance” the growing capitalist and business-like push by well meaning sports coaches, who NEED to pay their mortgages through coaching jobs! https://t.co/P4zo7V8UUw

Consumer Capitalism knows no bounds - we’ve seen it dominate adult sport, now it’s normal for kids - ‘The Professionalisation of Children’s Sports’. Huge spending, family kudos, coach/ trainer incomes, social media glory, contracts... be careful ❤️🏆 https://t.co/kowkIJ4hsW

Seems popular lately to slam the concept of EGO. Competition is ego! Criticising ego, is ego! This tweet is pure ego! #layofftheego #balance

[Winning Parent @winningparent]

@AllistairMcCaw Is that always a bad thing? If we could eradicate EGO from all people forever, is that utopia in sport? "I have absolutely no ego in me" 😂😇
